Pros

Great Benefits, Smart Minds, Driven

Cons

Two worlds. The classist divide between the "originals" and the "new hires" was overbearing and seaped into every aspect of every "team". Too caught up in the titles and hire dates, too stuck in routine to realize evolution was necessary and a good thing. All too divided

Pros

Loved working with my team. Super collaborative and exciting science. Great benefits and work life balance. Love the balance between pipeline and publication.

Cons

Super slow promotion rates that are more dependent on tenure, rather than contribution. We've also had yearly rounds of layoffs for the past four years. It is truly difficult to maintain any level of trust with upper management. However, layoff benefits at Genentech seem to be generous.
